[Biopython] Dropping Python 3.5 support?

[Peter Cock]

Thanks - it does seem there is no major issue with us
dropping Python 3.5 support soon.

We can probably do it the same time we drop Python 2.7
support, i.e. support them both for one final release due
late December (failing that, early January).
